must use the plastic bottom trim due to burn risk to

children. The plastic trim acts as insulation and will

help prevent burns to children from hot surfaces.

PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO

EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY

(a) Do Not Attempt to operate this oven with the

door open since open-door operation can result

in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is

important not to defeat or tamper with the safety

interlocks.

(b) Do Not Place DQ\REMHFWEHWZHHQWKHRYHQIURQW

face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue

to accumulate on sealing surfaces.

It is particularly important that the oven door close

WARNING!

■ Do not operate the oven without the

turntable in place. The turntable must be

unrestricted so it can turn.

■ During and after use, do not touch, or let

contact any interior area of the oven;

to at least an INTERNAL temperature

of 160°F, and poultry to at least an

INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking

to these temperatures usually protects

against foodborne illness.

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the

RYHQGRRUÀRRUZDOOVRYHQUDFNDQG

turntable.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Arcing is the microwave term for sparks in

WKHRYHQ$UFLQJLVFDXVHGE\

■ Metal or foil touching the side of the

oven.

■ Foil not molded to food (upturned edges

act like antennas).

■ Use foil only as recommended in this

manual.

■ Metal cookware used during either

speedcook or microwave cooking (except

for the pans provided with the oven).

■ Metal, such as twist-ties, poultry pins, or

gold-rimmed dishes, in the oven.

■ Recycled paper towels containing small

metal pieces being used in the oven.

ARCING

Arcing can occur during both speedcooking and microwave cooking. If you see arcing,

press the CANCEL/OFF pad and correct the problem.

,03257$176$)(7<,16758&7,216

■ When microwaving, place all foods and

containers on the clear glass tray.

■ Do not pop popcorn in your oven unless in

a special microwave popcorn accessory or

unless you use popcorn labeled for use in

microwave ovens.

■ Do not boil eggs in this oven. Pressure will

build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to

EXUVWSRVVLEO\UHVXOWLQJLQLQMXU\

■ Do not operate the oven without food

inside. This may cause damage to the

oven. It increases the heat around the

magnetron and can shorten the life of the

oven.

■ Foods with unbroken outer “skin” such as

potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes,

apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and

egg yolks should be pierced to allow steam

to escape during cooking.

■ SUPERHEATED WATER

 /LTXLGVVXFKDVZDWHUFRȺHHRUWHDDUH

able to be overheated beyond the boiling

point without appearing to be boiling. Visible

bubbling or boiling when the container is

WARNING!

■ The oven and door will get very hot

■ Cookware will become hot because of

heat transferred from the heated food.

Oven mitts will be needed to handle the

cookware.

■ Do not use coverings, containers

or cooking/roasting bags made

of foil, plastic, wax or paper when

speedcooking.

■ Do not cover the turntable, wire oven

rack, trays or any part of the oven with

metal foil. This will cause arcing in the

oven.

■ Use the nonstick metal tray in the same

way you would use a shallow baking pan

or baking tray.

■ Place food directly on the trays when

cooking unless prompted by the oven to

do otherwise.

■ Any oven-safe dish can be used in

your oven. Recipes in the Advantium

Cookbook were tested in Pyrex

dish. Microwave 30-45 seconds at high. If

the dish heats, it should not be used for

microwaving.

If the dish remains cool and only the

water in the cup heats, then the dish is

microwave-safe.

■ Cookware may become hot because of

heat transferred from the heated food.

Oven mitts may be needed to handle the

cookware.

■ Do not use recycled paper products.

also ignite.

■ Use foil only as directed in this manual.

When using foil in the oven, keep the foil

at least 1” away from the sides of the

oven.

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

■ If you use a meat thermometer while

cooking, make sure it is safe for use in

microwave ovens.

■ Some foam trays (like those that meat

is packaged on) have a thin strip of

metal embedded in the bottom. When

■ Paper towels, waxed paper and plastic

wrap can be used to cover dishes in

order to retain moisture and prevent

spattering. Be sure to vent plastic wrap

so steam can escape.

■ Not all plastic wrap is suitable for use

in microwave ovens. Check the package

for proper use.

■ “Boilable” cooking pouches and tightly

closed plastic bags should be slit, pierced

or vented as directed by package. If

they are not, plastic could burst during

or immediately after cooking, possibly

UHVXOWLQJLQLQMXU\$OVRSODVWLFVWRUDJH

short periods of overcooking. In longer

exposures to overcooking, the food and

cookware could ignite.

Follow these guidelines:

1. Use microwave-safe plastics only

and use them in strict compliance

with the cookware manufacturer’s

recommendations.

2. Do not microwave empty containers.

3. Do not permit children to use plastic

cookware without complete supervision.

What is Advantium?

Advantium Oven

The new Advantium oven uses

breakthrough Speedcook technology

to harness the power of light. The

Advantium oven cooks the outside

of foods much like conventional

radiant heat, while also penetrating

the surface so the inside cooks

simultaneously. While halogen light

is the primary source of power, a

“microwave boost” is added with

certain foods. Foods cook evenly and

fast, retaining their natural moisture.

Getting to know

Advantium

Turntable

■ The turntable rotates to ensure even cooking.

Controls

■ The oven control contains preset recipes.

■ Turn-and-press dial makes menu selection easy.

Halogen Lamp and Ceramic Heaters

■ One 500-watt halogen bulb and one 700-watt ceramic

heater cook food from above.

■ One 375-watt ceramic heater cooks food from below.

Rear Convection Heat Element

■ Operates when using bake.

Microwave

■ A microwave “boost” is automatically added with certain foods.

■ The oven can also be used as a 975-watt microwave oven.

How to

Bake

How to

Broil or

Toast

Baking,

Broiling

and

Toasting

Baking allows you to cook foods the same way as a

conventional oven, using a heating element to raise

the temperature of the air inside the oven. Any oven

temperature from 250°F to 450°F may be set.

Broiling allows you to broil foods in the same way as a

conventional oven.

Toasting allows you to toast foods the same way as a

conventional oven.

A fan gently circulates heated air throughout the

oven, over and around the food. Because the heated

air is kept constantly moving, not permitting a layer

of cooler air to develop around the food, some foods

cook slightly faster than in regular oven cooking.

Before you begin, make sure the turntable is in place.

Use the non-stick metal tray at all times when baking.

CAUTION: When baking, remember that

WKHRYHQGRRUDQGGLVKHVZLOOEHYHU\KRW

The turntable must

always be in place when

using the oven.

Put food or oven-safe

cookware directly on the non-

stick metal tray to bake.

Put food directly on the aluminum

baking sheet on the wire oven

rack, and place them on the non-

stick metal tray, when broiling or

toasting foods.

For two-level baking, place food

in a metal baking dish or directly

on the non-stick metal tray.

Place the aluminum baking sheet

or your baking dish with food on

top of the wire rack. Stand the

rack with food on the metal tray.
